Chapter 268 Her Desire for a Child
As Lucas finished speaking, the air around Cedric
Lucas broke out in a cold sweat.
Colder than before. The driver and
Then, they heard a faint laughter from Cedric. It was a laughter that seemed to carry a strong sense of mockery.
“Hah!”
She was investigating how he got out of prison?
It seems like Natalie really hadn’t paid any attention to Verde City matters in the past two
years.
She… did she really forget about him in these two years?
Had she really been completely focused on Regal Horizons International, as if Cedric never existed in her world?
“Drive!” Just as Lucas and the driver were feeling tense, Cedric finally spoke.
Upon hearing his order, both of them sighed in relief simultaneously.
This week has not been easy for the people around Cedric. They have also realized that as long as things don’t improve between him and Natalie, their lives won’t get any better either.
The smell of smoke was thick.
“Lucas.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Investigate that child!”
Saying this, Cedric threw the cigarette butt out of the car window. His eyes were deep and distant.
Natalie told him that she had gotten rid of the child. The extensive scars on her b*dy made Cedric aware that keeping the child at that time was almost impossible.
However, the scar on her lower abdomen was so long, and its location didn’t seem like it was from any other surgery.
Lucas was momentarily stunned. They had heard Cedric and Natalie’s conversation just now. They didn’t expect that Cedric was here to question the matter of the child when they came fooling for her just now.
though Lucas had been asked to investigate before, Cedric didn’t show too much obvious
“Yes, sir.” Lucas nodded.
At this moment, there was a heavy feeling in his heart. After some thought, he continued, ” The fire two years ago was a narrow escape for her. She was severely injured at that time, and her b*dy definitely needed a considerable amount of medical treatment!”
Lucas said this to prepare Cedric mentally. In Cedric’s mind, Natalie was a person who desired
a child extremely.
During the three years of her marriage to him, she took numerous medications in her quest to have a child.
Despite being someone who disliked hardship, she endured taking so many medications just to have a chance at having a baby. In Cedric’s eyes, if she indeed became pregnant, she would definitely keep the child.
A child… If they had a child?!
However, what Lucas said was true. Two years ago, Natalie was severely injured, making it almost impossible for her to keep the child.
“Go ahead and investigate!”
Even so, Cedric was determined to get an answer on this matter.
Lucas nodded, “Yes, sir. I understand.”
Meanwhile, Natalie arrived at the office and angrily threw her coat onto the sofa. It was evident how furious she was after her encounter with Cedric. Karina followed behind her.
“Ms. Walker,” Karina called out in concern.
Natalie closed her eyes. When her eyes shut, all that flashed through her mind were Cedric’s interrogations about the child.
What right did he have?!
“Summon Leon!” Natalie struggled to suppress her anger, but at this moment, her emotions. were already spiraling out of control.
Karina left quickly, and soon, Leon arrived.
Ms. Walker.”
How did he get out of prison?” Natalie asked through gritted teeth.
Considering Cedric’s crimes in Verde City at the time, he couldn’t have been released in less
Yet, within a short two years… He not only got out but also flaunted himself so openly!
Leon sensed Natalie’s uncontainable anger in her tone. It seemed that on Cedric’s car, these. two had clashed again, just like two years ago.
Like before, o matter where these two were thrown, they could always have a direct
confrontation.
“Tell me,” Natalie said as she walked over to sit on her chair.
She took a sip of the water, and the cold liquid brought some relief to her uneasy heart.
Leon explained, “In the past two years, everything related to him, except for his time in prison, has been erased.”
“Erased?”
“Yes.”
Natalie pondered.
Erased? She knew exactly what that meant.
Taking a deep breath, Natalie closed her beautiful eyes and then opened them again, sharp and piercing. “Are you saying that we can’t find out how he got out?”
“Yes, it seems that he covered his tracks. He probably doesn’t want us to find out.”
Natalie fell silent with a profound sharpness. Cedric covered it
once again, her eyes flad up? He didn’t want her side to know?
This situation was indeed interesting!
Before she could respond, Leon continued, “Isabella resides in the presidential suite at the Morina Hotel.”
Natalie froze at the mention of Isabella.
Isabella–it was the name she no longer wanted to associate with, including Cedric’s, over the past two years.
“Heh,” Natalie laughed, a hint of sarcasm in her tone. Her eyes burned with mocking flames.
Ob, Cedric! He was questioning her about their child while keeping Isabella close by?
Hah!
“He’s treating her quite well, isn’t he?” Even at a time like this, he had Isabella by his side.
Although Natalie hadn’t paid much attention to Verde City affairs, she vaguely knew that
But Isabella…!
Leon’s expression also showed a hint of seriousness as he continued, “I don’t think things with Mr. Johnson are as simple as you’ve always seen.”
“Hmm.” Natalie responded faintly. It seemed that things were indeed not as straightforward as she had perceived over the past decade.
Johnson Enterprise had been on the brink of collapse for the past two years. It had major internal issues last year, and the group could now be described as an empty shell.
Logically, when a tree fell, the monkeys scattered.
However, Cedric managed to flaunt himself coming out of prison despite this situation. It indicated that there was more to this man than Natalie had initially thought..
“Leave for now.”
“Yes, ma’am.” Leon nodded and left the office.
When Natalie was alone in the office, she tapped her slender fingers rhythmically on the desk. Her eyes sparkled with intensity.
After a while, she picked up the internal phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly answered, “Ms. Walker.”
“Have Zane come in.”
“Ms. Walker, Mr. Jacobs took a six–month leave and has already left.”
“Six months?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Why wasn’t the leave request submitted to me?”
Natalie’s head started to ache. How could her important assistant take a six–month leave without her approval?
The person on the other end of the line explained, “Mr. Jacobs left quite abruptly. The HR department should provide you with a reasonable explanation.”
Explanation? What use was an explanation now?
Without another word, Natalie hung up the phone.
